Summary: 5 Stars???? It Deserves 50!!!!
Review: I just bought the DVD, and this is the first time I've seen the Shrek movie. WOW!!! Aside from the non-stop laughs the movie provided and the incredible visuals, and a super soundtrack, this DVD is packed end to end with extras!! Just the way I like 'em!It includes videos, Behind the scenes clips, lots of playable games for both the standard DVD players and DVD-roms. Interviews with the cast AND Characters! And a Karaoke session that has to be seen! It would be impossible to list everything.
But I think the best bonus feature of all is the Shrek Voice Over that actually lets you add your voice to scenes. Either by yourself, or better yet, with a buddy or two, trying it out will have you laughing your heads off!! Not to mention really making you appreciate just how much work the actors put in. If you have a PC with a DVD you MUST get this movie!!
".....and in the morning, I'm making waffles!" LOL!!

Summary: Not for young children
Review: Whilst the animation was superb, the content was disturbing. Eddy Murphy was actually the funniest and better voice over. Mike Myers was extremely unconvincing as an ogre and what a poor attempt at a Scottish accent, his performance was dull and lacked emotion. Cameron Diaz could have been anyone - nothing outstanding there. This is a kids' movie??? We were shocked by the violence and the extremely unfunny cruelty to animals. Once we had endured the fight scene, the parts that really bothered us were firstly, when the Princess sings to a bird, delightfully heartwarming at first, then she purposefully sings so loudly and high pitched that the bird explodes, leaving its legs and three eggs behind, the eggs are promptly fried up for breakfast. Secondly, when Shrek blows into a frog's mouth, inflating it into a balloon. These scenes are completely unsuitable for children - what do they teach our impressionable youngsters? We gave up watching at this point, glad that we had decided to censor before our four year old got a chance to see the movie. Bottom Line - don't waste your time and money, Disney does it much, much better.

Summary: Shrek is hilarious
Review: If you haven't purchased this DVD, you need to run out and get it because not only is it hilarious but it also has some great special features. Especially if you have a DVD-Rom drive in your computer. You can play all sorts of games on your DVD-Rom drive plus you can actually do voiceovers for the characters in the scenes. The movie is the best animated movie I have ever seen. With a cast of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, John Lithgow and Cameron Diaz you can't go wrong with the voices. They do a wonderful job and make the movie great.

Summary: Shrek
Review: It is a throw-back of Disney Animation, but with a spice for modernization. It's characters are curt, wholesome characters, the humor I found boring and undermining to the likes of Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz. Do they really need to work so badly as to diminish themselves to hidden comedy. It's a far cry from their acting abilities so well demonstrated in the likes of "The Golden Child", and "Something About Mary". Cummon, do they need to make themselves so invisible here? If you like comedy, go find the artistic expression in its live form; bury this "Toy Story" nonsense already. It's played out with Tom Hanks. Give me something like the presence of Paula Poundstone or Rodney Dangerfield, live. Even Rodney strut his "stuff" in "Caddyshack". :) And please, let the kids find something less contrived to laugh at, like the "Tubbies" or "Smerfs". They will be adults soon enough; they don't need the adult addages that this "Shrek" infers throughout its entirety. kz

Summary: The Best Animated Movie Ever That I Can't Buy For My Kid
Review: I just LOVE this movie, but am frustrated because I'd love for my kids to be able to own it and they can't. What's great about this movie: The story line is awesome, the female lead [Princess Fiona, Cameron Diaz] is a phenomenal *strong* woman, the sound track rules, the animation is gorgeous, the movie is absolutely HYSTERICAL in many places, the sly takes on Disney are very entertaining, etc. [This is the best fairly tale *I've* ever seen or read]. What stinks about this movie: I have a 3 year old daughter who LOVED this movie and Princess Fiona [a great antidote to one too many Disney heroines she's been exposed to], but I can't buy this DVD for her and I feel a little chagrinned that we let her watch it once to begin with. The word "Damn" is used twice [Gads - I know its not the end of the world, but I don't need my sweet little girl saying "damn" to grandma...]. The "potty humor" is over the top [and, having a preschooler, I'm pretty tolerant of potty humor]. The "gross out factor" in the beginning is a little over the top too. Some of the situations are "adult" as well. I'm just sad - by leaving a few little things out here and there [like curse words and fart jokes], this could have been an awesome fairly tale for little girls who NEED to see a heroine who can take up for herself. And what a GREAT message for little girls in the age of anorexia anyway...[if you've seen the end, you know what I mean here]. We wouldn't need to "Revive Ophelia" if we had more heroines like Fiona around. This is a GREAT movie - I just wish I could buy it for my kids.

Review: THe Shrek Special Edition that was released today (Nov.2,2001)contains two discs: the movie itself on one disc and commentary and special features on another. DISC ONE (the movie) IS NOT WIDESCREEN! Only disc two is widescreen. There is no anamorphic widesceen version of Shrek the movie on DVD. It is 4:3. BEWARE

Summary: Fun and cute
Review: It's a great film. My only caution is -- there were just a few adult-like situations. I would recommend it.

Summary: Green is for Hope and Heroes
Review: This is an unique movie. We recently took a group of special kids to see the movie at the theaters. They have been talking about it since.The main characters show their special values and what really counts is inside.I very rarely see a movie more than once but this is a very well thought one in which every time you see it a new perspective comes to your mind.I specially like the donkey and feel that it is an example that we are here to serve not to be served.

Summary: Great for the all the kids including the big ones!
Review: This was a great movie. I went with seven kids and another adult and we couldn't decide who liked it better the kids or us. It had us rolling with laughter. I think this one is a keeper.

Summary: beware of sticker
Review: don't get bitten by trying to completely remove the front sticker which Dreamworks (hopefully) mistakingly attached to the case and not to the outer wrapping. if you attempt to peel it's clear backing off of the case, you'll be cursing like i did, since it leaves a sticky mess. don't do this again please dreamworks! now if i can enjoy the content of the discs and forget about this........
